Pattaya Hotels

Thanks TT, looking forward to it.
Found Jomtien Thani Hotel, looks nice, big pool, big balconies, nice comfortable rooms, looking at 1,900 per night incl ++ and BF.
F'ing useless to deal with directly though ! TIT

I'm curious about this place as well after seeing the pictures of the rooms and the rates 550 baht per night if you stay for a week or more is damned nice...

Thanks for the link, Gray

Hi,

Do you have experience staying at the Seaside Guesthouse on soi 3 near the beach road. And how was it like

Looks good, with great views over Pattaya, and good reviews on tripadvisor. I'm seriously considering booking there soon.

Is transport to and from the action a problem?

Transport to and from the action is not a problem 24/7 anywhere from the northern part of Jomtien to the southern part of Naklua. But the closer you get to the Beach Road/Second Road loop (and more recently Soi Buakhao), the quicker you will get around the playgrounds that are the primary reason for your visit. If you venture away from these loops you will sometimes spend 30/40 mins waiting/travelling as opposed to the 5 to 10 mins in the central areas.

Also, don't walk around up on the hill at night: It's an area notorious for muggings.

Looking for a clean, comfortable place with a pool, needs to be VERY close to the beach road in Jomtien if not on the road itself ! Girl friendly, budget around THB 1,500, appreciate any recomendations. Only needed for 2 nights.
Also any insights to the nightlife in Jomtien would be appreciated. Thanks, M.

You might struggle for any hotel with a pool near Jomtien beach for thirty quid these days, though I got a suite at the Jomtien Gardens for about that three years ago. This area has become increasingly popular with Bangkok Thais in recent years, particularly on the weekends, hence the room rates.

There were a few guest houses in and around Soi 5 that were quite cheap when I was there (this is also the main beer bar area in Jomtien, surprise surprise). Other punting opportunities are in the back of the Jomtien Complex - the built-up centre where the main road snakes down to the beach from the hill - and a couple of mediocre agogos on said section of the road. More punting opportunities were the Nineteenth Hole near Siam Country Club and the Winchester Pub (may have changed it's name but a Google should find it) in South Jomtien.

Of course, Pattaya and it's mythical shirtless brawling drunks plus it's myriad of punting opportunities is a ten minute 30bt Songtheaw ride away.

Hello, fellow travelers,

I'm fortunate enough to be in Pattaya enjoying myself yet staying in a very well appointed hotel away from the constant din.

The Dynasty Resort is a beautiful hotel on top of the only mountain in Pattaya. No motorcy with drunks screaming by at all hours of the day and night, or loud beer bars playing hip hop music.

The hotel is girl friendly with no joiner fee, has a full kitchen/bar with good food, and is clean and modern with beautiful teak finish.

The staff is very friendly, and and the rates are in my oppinion very reasonable. I'm paying 1350 baht per night thru the internet complete with breakfast for 2. If you want this you have to book for 2 and prepay.

There is a nice pool and wading pool for the little ones.

I have been staying here every trip for the last 7 years, and enjoy the tranquility, and relative convience.

Just thought I would pass it on to my fellow travelers.

To find it just google Dynasty resort.

Happy traveling,

Rio,

Your Patts hotel Q from the Phuket board answered here:

Check the Sawasdeehotelgroup website:
http://www.hotelssawasdee.com/?gclid...FYKB3godwlb4RA

This is where the hotels are:
http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&sourc...,0.111237&z=14

(To find Pattaya in googlemaps, enter Na Kloe)

There are hotels and hotel like guesthouse a plenty in Patts, just check this thread.
Hotel reservations are usualy easy to make and reliable.

If you don't need the room service or stares at reception, a guesthouse can be a good choice. However, they are not good at taking reservations. Meaning that you can call and they can confirm, but still no room when you arrive...

Regards,
F

Hi all,

First off, a quick update. On my last trip to Pattaya, I stayed at the Marriott and can confirm they have no problem with guests. In fact, because I had a repeat guest on consecutive nights, the security guard/front desk let her up to my room w/o having to give id. In addition, the hotel has a great breakfast, good clean room, expensive internet, ok bathroom, and the balcony was nice too. Location was perfect as it is in the middle of everything yet with all the trees around it, it does have secluded feeling. Typical Marriott service.

Will be heading to Pattaya again next week and staying at the Marriott because I have enough points BUT I am interested in the higher end hotels and wondering if any of you can provide some advice.

In addition to the basics: which are good internet connection, clean soft/kingsized beds, more modern look, clean bathroom, and guest friendly what I am interested in are suite type arrangements with large bathrooms and large tubs (big enough for 2 or 3 so a jaccuzzi would be great) with a great location. Searching other websites, I did find Dusit D2 which is right across from the Marriott (I think) and that would be a choice. However, I do want to hear other choices, if any, and any feedback on Dusit D2?

Recently went to pick up a friend visiting. He is staying a hotel I hadn't seen or heard before.

Pasadena Lodge, between 2rd. and LK Metro not too far from the action. The place look good and clean. Prices for a standard Room was 700 baht a night and Deluxe was 1200 baht. The have a website www.hotelpasadenalodge.com if one needs more information.

Enjoy! LBM

Guys I quoted 2577 THB, thats the Flexible rate for 11th to 17th April for a Deluxe Room with Breakfast for two. The rate on the website as of now is the same. Be very careful with the Amari Site as the first price given seems low at 1880, but its not flexible and does not include breakfast. I booked my first stay using the website and then got the same price out of the girl at the front desk for my second reservation - not bad at all.

See above re current pricing.

The old building of Nova Platinum has been revamped and corridors are now light and open. Admitted no balconies, however the rooms are good and well equipped, especially nice if you get one overlooking the pool.There is also the choice of the new building for those who want slightly bigger rooms and dont mind the short (100m) walk to the pool etc.

First of all, I would take a Baht Bus fom Hard Rock to Walking St and secondly, anyone who cant walk the short flat trip from Nova Platinum shouldnt consider mongering in LOS

Cheers, FF

Everyone thanks for the info. I will have to check this place now. Will post report and pics of course.

Cheers,

Nova Platinum current rates, 1480B per night for a superior room or 1880B for the deluxe room if you book from their website. Excellent deal despite the exclusion of breakfast.

Well Fifty Fifty,
I just have 2 or 3 notes to your post.
2577 THB is far more than I payed last November. I payed about 1900 to 1950 THB depends on the weekday, by booking online over the Nova booking site..........

See above re current pricing.......

The Hotel is quite good, that is true, but I find it a bit dark. High walls around no balcony, dark floors, nevertheless wifi is very good, big flat screen in room and yes clean.........

But, for people whose have problems to walk from Hard Rock Cafe to walking street, (it's a 15 minute walk in a fresh prize, bypassing lots of street walker), it might be difficult to walk the 5 - 7 minutes from NP to walking street.

First of all, I would take a Baht Bus fom Hard Rock to Walking St and secondly, anyone who cant walk the short flat trip from Nova Platinum shouldnt consider mongering in LOS

I plan to be back in Pattaya next week and will be staying at the Marriott (using my points that I collect due to travel for work) so I would be curious if Marriott has joiner fees?

There is no joiner fee at the Marriot. The hotel requires the girls to leave their ID's with the front desk.
